Chapter 215: Death Comes
"Grant, I didn't expect the game that I thought would lose suspense in the first half actually dragged on to the fourth quarter. Evans' scoring explosion in this third quarter was unmatched! ”
"That's how Brian was, in the team's first game against the Kings I used to say that although this season Terek. Evans won the scoring title, but compared to Tyreck. Evans, Kevin were the better scorers. But when the series got to this point, all I can say is that Terek is a scorer. Evans is not under anyone in this league at the moment! ”
In the first four games of the series, Terec scored 24, 45, 44 and 27 points respectively, averaging a high score of 35 points per game, plus 5 games in the first round of the playoffs. Tyreco can average 29.7 points per game in the nine playoff games he has participated in, and is currently only behind Kobe Bryant, who averages 30 points per game, and slightly ahead of LeBron James in the individual scoring average ranking in the playoffs.
"Guys, tighten the clockwork! We're just six points behind the Thunder right now, and we still have a chance in the fourth quarter! Coach Westafar shouted as the players were on the bench at the end of the third quarter, waving their boards.
"In the last quarter, everyone should not spare their physical strength, the whole court is staring, we must prevent the attack of the Thunder team, so that we can have a chance to continue to chase points, we must drag them down! As long as we can win this game tonight and bring this series back to Sacramento, we have a chance to drag the series to a tie-break! ”
Coach Westfaal's face was red-faced, and he was obviously a little uncontrollable excited when he said this, "Although this season has been successful enough for us so far, if we can continue to move forward, why not?!" Win this one, go back to Sacramento, tie seven, and reach the Western Conference Finals again, and I'm sure we can continue to do wonders! ”
Under the encouragement of Coach Westphal, the mood of the Kings team is also extremely high, and this hope makes everyone full of energy, indeed, as Coach Westafal said, maybe they can really perform a miracle in the playoffs?!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, the Kings showed a strong desire to win, the defense did not hesitate to scramble for physical strength, and every rebound was fought with an almost crazy obsession, Jimmy even flew into the stands in a save, and the corner of his eye smashed into the camera on the sidelines, bleeding for a while, but after a short period of processing, Jimmy returned to the court again.
With the efforts of the whole Kings team, although the offensive firepower of the Thunder team is still ferocious, but in the fourth quarter for 5 minutes, the Kings overtook the Thunder team in the score!
This was the first time that the Kings took the lead in the whole game, and even trailed by as many as 22 points at one point, but thanks to Tyreck's outburst in the third quarter and the team's tenacious defense at the beginning of the fourth quarter, they finally achieved a comeback! Now the huge pressure is being thrown at the Thunder!
"The Kings actually achieved a comeback in the fourth quarter! The current score on the court is 92-91, and the Kings lead by 1 point! The 22-point advantage was squandered, and this sure-winning game was played like this, although the Kings' performance was wonderful, the team's slackness in the second half was also a problem! Davis, the on-site commentator, looked a little anxious and angry at this time, if a game that was won after halftime was lost, it was really possible to be dragged to a tie-break, and it was really impossible to say who would advance to the Western Conference Finals at that time......
"Brian, now it's up to the team to deal with it, the Kings are a quality opponent, our goal is the championship, we have to step over that opponent and see how the team performs in the last few minutes......"
After all, the Thunder team is the favorite to win the championship this season, although the morale of the Kings team was greatly boosted at this time, but the Thunder team did not panic because of being overtaken by the score, after a pause and adjustment, the Thunder team quickly stabilized the morale of the army, and once again entered their own rhythm, and in the last period of time it was their number one person Kevin who led the Thunder team forward. Durant!
Within three minutes of the Kings' comeback, the two teams experienced a brief tug-of-war, and the two teams went back and forth, and the score gap between the two sides never exceeded 3 points, but at 8 minutes and 22 seconds into the fourth quarter, Kevin . Durant has officially taken over the game!
In and Caron. In Butler's matchup, Durant helped his team lead the Kings by 2 points with a catch-and-shoot three-pointer, and at the same time opened the prelude to his offensive performance at the end of the game!
"Kings frontcourt Tyreck. Evans controlled the ball, formed a breakthrough, missed a mid-range pull-up jump shot, Russell grabbed the defensive rebound, accelerated to start a fast break! The Kings retreated quickly, and by this time there were already three people back in their own half, Russell crossed to Kevin, who was fast down, and Kevin Gayed away from David. West, use your long arms to complete the split from the beveled side! Beautiful counterattack, Kevin's dunk once again ignited the enthusiasm of the fans! ”
"Kevin holds the ball up front and defends his Caron. Butler looked very nervous, and today Caron. Butler was once again terrible, with no achievements on the offensive end except for two open three-pointers, and the defensive end was frequently a colander. Westphaal chose to continue believing in him in the final moments. Kevin intends to single out Carlon. Butler, turn around and hit the back, take two steps and roll over and jump shot! Easy hits! Once Kevin's height and arm span use such a backswing, it is basically impossible to prevent it! ”
"The Kings had a turnover, DeMarcus. Cousins catches the ball inside and gets rid of it, and it is Kevin who fishes out the ball! Fast to the frontcourt, Jimmy. Butler rushed back to the defense, and Kevin made a sharp stop one step outside the three-point line! Be...... Direct three-point shot! Again! Hollow into the net! It's so beautiful! During this time, Kevin single-handedly took all the team's scores! Kevin scored 10 points in a row to stretch the gap between the team and the Kings to 7 points again! There are less than 2 minutes left until the end of the game! ”
After Durant scored this chase three-pointer, he looked at the Kings on the opposite side with extremely cold eyes in the defense, his eyes were like the scythe of death cruelly harvesting the Kings' hope of winning, and he hit key shots in a row like a steel knife into the opponent's heart again and again, forcing the Kings to the end......
